"Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things - air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky - all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it." - Cesare Pavese - - "There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign." - Robert Louis Stevenson - - "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness." - Mark Twain | Travel quotes
